The City of Tampa, Florida, has taken a major step toward smart traffic management and safer work zones by deploying the Causeway one.network platform in partnership with Causeway, allowing officials to send information about road and lane closures to GPS providers, so drivers can better navigate Tampa’s roads.
Brandon Campbell, Interim Mobility Director for Tampa, said:
“Causeway one.network itself is a software platform that helps us to get information to you faster and easier through all of the different mapping platforms that you’re already using on your cell phones.
The contract spans three years, giving the City room to refine workflows, align with partners and expand usage across more departments.
At Causeway, we’re excited to empower city agencies like Tampa’s to do more, do it faster and create better journeys for their residents. By bringing work‑zone data, closures, MOT plans and navigation‑feed integration into one platform, cities are gaining the capability to move from reactive to proactive — from managing delays to enabling smoother, safer movement across the road network.
The information that One.network sends to GPS apps can be found on the city’s road closures website. Users can click on different road projects for more details on traffic impacts and timelines.
Earlier this year, a study by ConsumerAffairs ranked Tampa as having the 13th-worst traffic after studying data in the nation’s 50 most populous metropolitan areas.
